Really want to quit weed for good

To The OP, I know you must feel fella.


What you explained sounded a hell of a lot like my teen's.

I'd smoke, and still do, to avoid boredom, earlier on it really worked, I sure as hell never got bored while baked, however, as my tolerance began to build up, and my lack of income became a problem, I constantly reminded myself that I simply couldn't afford to develop a daily habit, however, cannabis for me, was more of a sleep aid than a recreational drug.

The first step I took, was to only smoke from around 23:00 onwards, reducing, drastically the amount of bud I'd used daily, whilst still having the privilege of a great/early nights sleep.

I'd then start to look forward to my smoke at night more than, say if i got up and smoked non stop.


If you like smoking then I wouldn't say aiming to quit this early on in your life FOREVER is a realistic or even necessary? Just my opinion anyway, I'd run a mile from a commitment like that.


Also know what you mean about parents leaving the house for a while, I used to feel like I'd be missing a great chance, and so HAD to get baked.

I'd just say, take a step back, evaluate your life properly, see where your going, if it's the right way, and whether bud might hinder your prospects.


PS. When i started to build up tolerance, the hobby i developed was learning the guitar, sure, I'd learn it baked and forget most of it, but if your into music, I'd definitely recommend learning the guitar for some of your smoke ups.

You don't need a girlfriend, but socialising is a must. I did once get to the point where I would rather stay in and smoke, even if there was a free night out going, this was probably a result of being quite unlucky with unprovoked violence and or muggings in the recent past personally, combined with a farley ferocious smoking habit, I'd often find it a struggle to get myself into town, but you make an effort, have a good time, don't drink too much of that crap, and I'm sure you'll meet plenty of girls, and start to enjoy life again.


The general key being here...moderation =D
 
I think you're on track with quitting for a period of time, but quitting weed for good might not end up being necessary. You have a lot of living left to do, as it sounds you're rather young still. Taking some serious time off to get your life started isn't a bad idea at all, and years later you'll have more maturity and responsibilities so it will be easier to prioritize substances. Once you have a job and your own place, it's easy to work pot into your schedule responsibly - just don't do it until you've finished all your other shit for the day, and not just your day job, also any chores and errands that need to be run. Think of weed as less of a routine and more of a reward (but only when you actually deserve one, not like "oh, well I actually shaved today, I earned some weed") and you'll likely find it much less damaging to your life.
 
A full time job will steal your soul and your time, and then go to the gym for 2 hours a day. You'll just want to sleep when you get home.
 
Just smoke less ? Sounds more like your smoking too much than anything else, as said exerecise or just tiring yourself out or keeping yourself busy, will help lessen the need for weed.

But really the balme is more with yourself than weed imo, and I say that with the greatest respect but it is on the whole true, attitude is the key not what substance your using.

But for giving up you have to replace all those times your bored with something else.
 
smoke meth it'll get you out of bed


but really...just find something to pre-occupy most your time. Something like a hobby, games, exercising--recommending to sweat out your thc from your fatty cells.

Drink lots of water to flush, eat lots of vegtable, fruits

and youll be better in no time.
 
i used to blaze every single day for about a year and a half.....and i would smoke a lot over the summers and shit.
i just started to realize i wouldn't do shit and barely got high anymore and would just be burnt for so long. and i fuckin hate being burnt.
i kinda stopped hanging out with this girl that was smoking me up a lot.

then i started kinda just loosing interest. when my friends would smoke and offer me some i started just being like nahh, cause i'd think of like the time or whatever and that i wanted to get shit done today and if i smoked i'd just start being burnt in about half an hour and then for the rest of the day.
so i turned it down a lot, then the few times i did smoke again with a lot of people i really didn't like it and i felt uncomfortable as shit it was weird i got way too high.
now i'll just smoke every once in a while, sometimes when i'm drunk, or just late at night at a friends house.

it wasn't to hard at all.
drinking is way more fun anyways lol so yeah i kinda just switched from blazing 24/7 to drinking on the weekends. and now that it's summer i'm drinking a lot but whatever. lol it's a lot cheaper too. ever heard of joose? energy drink+alcohol, tastes pretty good, costs $3 a can, and i've never needed more then 2 to get retarded and black out.

lol great advice i'm gunna turn you into an alchy now haha
 
its alot easier quitting something that is just a habit than quitting and addiction. so just do other stuff. dont buy weed. take up a hobby. i used to be a daily, multiple blunt smoker and now a barely smoke at all. it's not too hard, just try not to think about it too much.
good luck
 
ive had to quit a few times for treatment. i can usually go a few weeks but then at about the 3 week mark i usually break. if you can make it pas then you should be good

...Are you serious? You black out off 2 jooses? Dude, no offense, but you either have a super low alcohol tolerance or you must weigh like 95lbs.

Takes me 3-4 to even feel properly drunk, and I only weigh 135. Same goes with all those other alcoholic energy drinks... the shits are weak. That's the main reason I don't drink them anymore.




...2 to black out, jesus, man... I'd turn into an alchy for that kind of tolerance.
 
It simply takes some hard-core will-power man...the first few days, maybe even a week or two, will suck, but your body will adjust after that. It's really quite simple! Good luck...
 
Try hanging out with any of your friends who aren't into drugs more, get a job so you can get some cash and meet some new people, just try to do stuff to keep your mind off of it. good luck
 
dont 'try' to get off it. just do it. one day when you're feeling good and don't have weed, start from there and dont look back! problem for me is doing that usually 'fixes' me then im back on the weed :\
 
I don't think supplementing a cannabis habit with an alcohol habit is the best route for the OP to take. If he has a problem with weed (I'm not saying he does) then I don't see why he wouldn't develop a problem with alcohol. Alcohol is more dangerous than Oxycontin IMO.
 
I know this is probably a dead thread, but if anyone finds this and is in the same situation as i was and 'MasterVampire' was in, I would recommend going cold turkey, throw away everything to do with you smoking, bong pipe etc... get rid of all the weed you have left, delete the numbers to your dealer because if you have them and you are tempted to smoke you will have a source to get it from which you don't want. Luckily in my case I wasn't good friends with the person I bought from but if you are you can remain friends, but you have to distance yourself from weed which may mean you have to stay away from said friend for a while, personally i had a good friend I enjoyed hanging out with that got me into smoking but I found every time I hung out with him I hung out with him i would end up smoking. It is not worth it to continue down the same path as your friends if they are choosing to keep wasting their time smoking so you have to distance yourself from them and make friends with people who are sober so you don't end up smoking again.

smoking isn't a physical addiction but can still be hard for people to quit sometimes, the key is to set your mind to it and hold on to that mindset, even if you find yourself wanting to smoke you still have to say no.

When I quit i couldn't fall asleep the first few nights and would lay awake for hours having been a multiple time a day smoker for over a year, I got depressed, and with dropping out of college considered suicide (because of the debt), I felt that my life was over, I had felt defeated, and that is a common feeling for those who are struggling with quitting, but life goes on and you will feel better. If you are smoking to hide from something you have to face it, problems don't go away because you're hiding from them, they can still get worse. Given some time you will be able to adapt to a sober life style and will feel better for it.
